How to fix “We will try again when we have a better connection” on Instagram
To fix the “We’ll try again later when we have a better connection” error on Instagram, you can try trimming the video, removing the tagged account, or switching the codec to h.265.
You can also try choosing auto-populated hashtags instead of typing them out and check your internet speed before posting.
Try trimming the video, removing the tagged account, or switching the codec to h.265 if you’re uploading a video.
In most cases, you can’t upload a carousel to Instagram because you’ve already added a video to it.
Uploading videos to Instagram is often full of bugs, so you’ll have to fix a few things before you can upload videos.
But before trying these solutions, you must make sure that you have an internet connection.
In case your connection is weak, try switching from WiFi to mobile data and vice versa.
Learn all the solutions you can use to fix the error and upload your carousel to Instagram.
1. Trim video
First, you can try trimming the video while posting the carousel on the app itself.
To crop a video, select the photo/video you want to upload to the carousel, tap next, then tap the video.
Next, select “Crop” and trim the video a bit.
Instagram tends to prevent “non-original” videos from being uploaded to the app.
So you will have to edit the video in the app before posting for it to be uploaded successfully on Instagram.
Trimming a second of a video seems to do the trick for posting your carousel.
2. Remove tagged accounts
If you’re having trouble posting the carousel on Instagram, you can try removing the tagged accounts.
If you’re having trouble posting multiple photos, try removing the tagged accounts before posting.
To remove a tagged account, go to “Tag people” and tap the “x” icon to remove all tagged accounts before posting.
This works if you are trying to post pictures. You can try removing the tagged accounts if you are also posting videos.
The “We’ll try again later when we have a better connection” error on Instagram can be caused by tagging someone else on your photo.
So you will have to remove the tags to successfully post your carousel on Instagram.
3. Convert the codec to H.265
Finally, you can try converting the codec to H.265 from H.264 if you are uploading video.
If you don’t have video editing software, you can search for “H.265 converter” on Google and use a free tool.
Instagram’s video format is H.265, so you’ll have to convert your video from H.264 to H.265 if you want to upload it.
After you find a free converter, upload your video and convert it.
Go back to Instagram and try uploading the video to Instagram again and it should work.
If you are adding hashtags to your posts, use the autocomplete (given) hashtag on your captions.
Instead of typing hashtags and pressing the spacebar, choose auto-populated ones.
Some people spell out the entire hashtag, press the spacebar, and type the next tag.
Spelling hashtags without selecting those provided by Instagram can cause upload problems.
Therefore, you need to make sure to choose auto-populated hashtags to avoid upload issues.
5. Test your internet speed
Finally, remember to check your internet speed if you still can’t upload to Instagram.
If your internet speed is too slow, you won’t be able to upload videos to Instagram (especially if the video size is too large).
To test your internet speed, you can use a free tool like Ookla.
Generally, you should aim for download/upload speeds above 100 Mbps.
If your upload speed is below 20 Mbps, your video may take a long time to upload because it is too slow.
If you are using WiFi, try switching to local data and vice versa. That can help solve your internet speed is too slow.
